"Set just north of Oia and away from the tourist chaos, the sleek modern space at the Canaves Epitome hotel has what I think may be the island’s most sophisticated and passionate wine team, led notably by a woman. I arrive before sunset for a creative cocktail, then let the sommelier organize a tasting or guide me to a bottle for the journey ahead. A single langoustine on housemade pasta topped with grated lime looks deceptively simple until it’s transformed by a sip of Pure from Volcanic Slopes Vineyards — a synergy that embodies the philosophy of pairing." - Lauren Mowery
